Australian television host David Koch is best known for presenting Sunrise on the Seven Network.
Before transitioning to television, the TV personality started his media career as a financial journalist in Adelaide, writing for a number of journals.
David Koch Is Headed for Sunrise
David Koch was visibly missing from the Sunrise desk on Friday due to a planned lengthy leave of absence for the host.
But everything is being done for a good reason: David’s youngest daughter is getting married in London.
Koch explained that everything will be fine because his younger daughter Georgie was getting married. The TV star admitted that he hasn’t yet met German Alex Merks, the man he plans to wed.
The well-liked presenter will take three weeks off to go to his wedding in the UK, and David Shirvington will cover the desk duties until he gets back. In September 2020, he used social media to congratulate the pair on their engagement.
Due to a health issue, David had to leave the Sunrise programme three hours early in May. After the first 25 minutes of the show, David vanished from view after an advertisement break.
David abruptly left the show, and Natalie Barr disclosed it by informing the audience that her co-anchor had laryngitis.
How Did David Koch and His Wife Find Each Other?
At the age of 21, David Koch first encountered Libby Koch “across a bustling room.”
David laughs as he recalls, “Libby gazed at me and her grin seemed to sparkle.” “But it was truly love at first sight for me,” David recalls sadly. “I didn’t notice she had braces on her teeth until I got closer and the disco ball was reflecting off the braces!” Registered nurse Libby was 20 years old. We first met in 1977 at a party that our friend Judy chose to host. For Libby as well, there was an immediate interest.
David and Libby got engaged seven months later, and they wed on January 20, 1979, in a Sydney chapel. After more than 40 years together, Libby and Kochie are still happily by each other’s sides in both their personal and professional lives.
Through the ups and downs of life, Libby and Kochie have supported one another.
David has consistently held two to three jobs, according to Libby. But we always knew we had made a commitment to remain together, and we’re so happy because we’re having such a great time today. “There were difficult periods when we were battling to retain workers on during difficult economic times, about 15 years ago, and the strains may spill over into a relationship.” When we learn that people readily end relationships, it greatly disturbs us.
David Koch’s Net Worth
As the host of Channel Seven’s morning show, David Koch reportedly earns $1 million annually. Koch has received heavy criticism on social media for saying that an average Australian can save $10,000 in just 20 days.
The fact that the TV personality makes a seven-figure salary and hence doesn’t need to worry about money is one of the reasons why viewers are outraged.
Samantha Armytage, his co-host, is rumoured to receive $500,000 a year, while Koch is reportedly paid twice as much.
There were plenty of haters when the financial expert’s most recent episode, “How To Make $10,000 In 20 Days,” premiered on Channel Seven on Wednesday night. David asserted that by starting a “side business” or selling stuff from around the house, anyone can make up to $500 each day.
